Definitions

• the present invention relates to the preparation of ion exchange resins of even grain size based on styrene-divinyl benzene copolymer matrix useful in analytical chemistry.
• Ion exchange resins due to be utilized in modern analytics in a wide measuring range are to meet especially high requirements of quality. (Snyder-Kirkland, Introduction into the liquid chromatography, Muszaki K6nyvkiad61979).
• HU-A-176 374 polymerization in suspension is carried out in the presence of a special protective colloid consisting of a mixture of polyvinyl alcohol and polyacrylic acid ester for preparing ion exchange resins based on homodisperse vinyl-benzene-styrene pearl polymer.
• a special protective colloid consisting of a mixture of polyvinyl alcohol and polyacrylic acid ester for preparing ion exchange resins based on homodisperse vinyl-benzene-styrene pearl polymer.
• homodisperse pearls of a grain size distribution of 12 to 14 microns may be prepared. This process, however is not suitable for the preparation of homogeneous products having a grain size fluctuation within 1 micron or less.
• the resin grains still contain a large amount of sulfonated linear polymers which do not take part in the crosslinkage and other colloidal impurities (US-A-366 113).
• the various parameters used in the analysis start the eluation of the contaminating substances from the resin column.
• the resin bed changes its volume and capacity.
• Another reason is that the eluating polymers result in a base perturbation at the test wave lengths, what can significantly disturb the evaluation.
• the US-A-4101 460 describes a composition of matter for exchanging ions comprising a
• Component A an insoluble substrate which consists essentially of synthetic resin, having ion exchanging sites at least on its available surface; and a
• Component B a finely divided, insoluble material comprising synthetic resin particles of from about 0,1 micron to about 5 microns median diameter having, at least on their outer
• the present invention was aimed at the elaboration of a process for the preparation of homogeneous ion exchange resins of identical physical and chemical properties, of analytical purity, of spherical shape based on styrene-divinyl-benzene copolymer matrix by which the selectivity of analytical methods can be increased.
• the inner fine structure of the resin grains was formed to achieve maximal efficiency and in order to remove substances disturbing measurings.
• the column filled with the treated resin does not shrink, its capacity does, not change and no base perturbation occurs.
• the pearl polymer is formed in the presence of additives in aqueous medium.
• the additives are partially solid substances and partially water soluble or emulsifiable high-molecular products. Their removal from the surface of the polymer after the polymerization is rather difficult due to the large surface of the polymer and thus the recovery of the pure product is rather difficult.
• this problem was solved by using less additives for the preparation of the copolymer in the polymerization technique.
• a perfect spherical pearl polymer was obtained and the grain size of the pearls was also within narrower limits. The nearly similar grain size was partly due to the fast that while in case of introduction of ion-containing water a steady fluctuation can be observed.
• the pearl polymer When preparing cation exchange resin, the pearl polymer was treated with sulfuric acid moderately. The concentration of the sulfuric acid was chosen minimal and it was applied in a great excess. The heat released in the course of the reaction did not cause any significant local overheating, sulfonation took place unambigously and could be well reproduced as during sulfonation the concentration of the sulfuric acid was substantially constant.
• the sulfonated pearl polymer was transferred from the sulfuric acid medium into the aqueous medium at constant weight and cautiously (the sulfuric acid concentration of the medium was first reduced by 3% per hour then after 10 hours by 5% per hour) so that the inner structure of the polymer was arranged upon the hydration energy without any tension.
• the ion exchange resins are then decomposed to fractions of suitable grain size.
• the ion exchange resin is distributed to fractions by using counter surrent sorting separator by air.
• the width of the obtained fraction can be controlled, the minimal attainable width is ⁇ 20 %.
• the air-shifting the aggregation of the particles should be avoided as well as the change of their physical properties (such as density, mass).
• wet separation determined eduction times and settling liquid-mixtures and chemicals of high purity are used.
• the fractions of differet grain size are separated under unchanged conditions of sedimentation (by convection or by other method), so that no turbulence occurs. Sedimentation time and concentrations are not determined on the basis of the Stokes-law, but by means of monograms obtained by practical measurings.
• the thus obtained product can be homogenized as required according to quality particle size.
• thermometer and mixer in the mixer the substances to be minted are pumped between a rotating and a standing gapped çyclinder, rotation number 5600 rot/min. 1000 cm 3 of ion-free water are fed. 15 g of polyvinyl alcohol are soaked in the water for 16 - 20 hours, the mixture is the then supplemented to 3000 cm 3 and heated to 100°C and kept at this temperature for 10 minutes while the mixer is working at low rotation number (2000 rot/min.).
• the mixture is cooled to 75°C, the required rotation number is adjusted and the prepared monomer mixture of 184 g of styrene, 16 g of divinyl benzene and 0.18 g benzoyl peroxide is fed into the apparatus.

It is again centrifuged product is dried.

From the raw resin a 20 % by mass suspension is prepared with distilled water containing Na-lauryl sulfate. The suspension is homogenized for 0.5 hour by means of ultrasound. The suspension is centrifuged for 30 minutes at 6 ⁇ 3°C at 350 - 400 g and the supernatant is covered with liquid. The previous steps are repated at least twice and the supernatant is measured turbidimetrically, the difference between the turbidimetric values of the last and the last but one supernatant will be below 0.04 absorption unit.
